I may be telling you things you are already well aware of, but ASP.NET MVC is a separate framework that removes 99% of the utter crap that came along with ASP.NET WebForms, so there definitely is a team at MS that sympathises. To go even further, Nancy.fx is a third party framework that gets even closer to the metal.
I still have enough of an undying love for the C# language that I dream of running Nancy.fx on Mono, on Linux, giving me the best of at least three worlds.
